Anything after that was probably bluster from Hussein.

Probably? Well probably don't cut it Bill. He bluffed, he lost. Too freaking bad for him and you. I bet you believed Baghdad Bob was fair and balanced, eh?

Secondly I find it interesting from a 'conservative' that we would require all other nations to acquiesce to UN resolutions when most would not want the same for these US.

I find it curious that your imagination conjures up strawmen at the blink of an eye. I could give two craps about the UN.

Mind you, I'm not calling for this nation of states to be beholden to the UN, my stance could be no further from that point. However, if we as a sovereign nation wish to be exempt from any UN resolutions, then we should not, or can not, expect any action different from other sovereign nations.

Which is it, are you advocating for permission slips from the UN or Americas right to defend our selves from terrorist harboring nations?

"Anything after that was probably bluster from Hussein."

Yeah, that Saddam was such a kidder he would put on little shows for the spy satellites.

When the UN inspectors would request to see a site, the satellites would suddenly pick up a line of trucks going up to the back of the site, loading up and then leaving before the inspectors would be allowed in.

What a prankster that Saddam is!
